Village of Weston April 2026 Referendum
The Village of Weston Board of Trustees approved an authorizing referendum resolution (pictured below) in the amount of $600,000 on an ongoing basis for the purpose of South Area Fire & Emergency Response District (SAFER) adding six additional full-time firefighters/paramedics at their January 19, 2026 meeting. The referendum question will appear on the ballot as follows:
Under state law, the increase in the levy of the Village of Weston for the tax to be imposed for the next fiscal year, 2027, is limited to 2.29%, which results in a levy of $5,907,763. Shall the Village of Weston be allowed to exceed this limit and increase the levy for the next fiscal year, 2027, for the purpose of paying the Village of Weston’s share of the cost for SAFER to hire and retain six additional full-time firefighters/paramedics, by a total of 10%, which results in a levy of $6,507,763 and on an ongoing basis, include the increase of $600,000 for each fiscal year going forward?
The Village will share more information with residents online and by holding public information session(s) ahead of the April 7, 2026, election. More information will be available on the Village’s website, www.westonwi.gov, in the coming weeks; plus shared through the Village’s social media and weekly e-newsletter.
